The famous Space Needle on Broad Street in Seattle is iconic. Specifically built for the World’s Fair in 1962, it still stands as a symbol of Seattle, and a favorite tourist attraction because of the recently renovated observation deck now named the Loupe. It is 520 feet high and one can see not only Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, and even distant Puget Sound.
You can take the convenient high-speed elevator to get to the top in under one minute. It features a first-of-its-kind rotating floor and an open-air deck.
